Jack Peñate-Everything Is New

Apart from having a sweet moustache and a Blagovejich-esque top, Jack Peñate has pure gold with his new album, Everything is New. The anxiety and urgency in Peñate's vocals immediately suck you in and take you on a journey through life, love, and death.
Peñate makes all three sound so good with bouncy, disco like bass lines and what at times seems like giant samba band backing him up. Standout tracks "Pull My Heart Away" and "Lets All Die" scream of, well, live audiences screaming the choruses back in celebration. In "Lets All Die" he celebrates and embraces death in a such a manner that it makes you want to start a conga line to heaven (or hell).
Watch his video for "Pull My Heart Away" right here. And see him live this fall opening for Miike Snow.
